Gfs own 55 tank, tetra madness

0

Got a free tank and the girlfriend want to be invalved more that usuall. She has given me a list of fish she would like to have and well alot of people is gonna hate. She is the one that wants multiple schools. So with a trail and error, failed attempts with trying to get a non meal and a non fin nipper she has found several tetras she likes. they are Rummynose, bleeding hearts and buenos aires. She wants a gold gourami and a powder blue dwarf but I explained that only one gourami can be in it; she choose the gold, since we having been planning to get one anyway. She also wants a few loaches and a albino BN to replace our late great dear pet shadrack. so are these number descent. It will be filtrated by 1x fluval C and one AC70, pretty much same filter except they are use space differant.

Doesn't sound bad to me. She only has 3 species other than the Gold Gourami and all are in schools large enough to be called a school. Much, much better than a 29 gallon with 9 species of fish of all sorts? I would not have gotten a gold gourami as they tend to be the most aggressive of the gourami's (golds and the 3-spots that are really the same fish). But, it may work out for you just fine.

I haven't seen that you have cycled those filters yet? If not, what method will you use? Otherwise, all your fish will die.

A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

Stocking looks good. You/she could go with a bigger school of Rummey noses, like 20.

I don't think three species will overwelm the viewer at all.
